Quoted from o-din:Interesting as my flat fender Willys Jeep had a floor shifter as I thought they all did.
1945 and early 1946 up to serial number 38221 had column shift. Mine's a 1945 CJ2A.

Quoted from rai:One new feature I have on the BRZ is called hill hold assist. The theory is that you can take your foot off the brake, to the gas without having to ride the clutch while on a hill.
I have that on my Audi S4. I like the feature because they replaced the manual e-brake with an electric one. Mine only holds the car for about 5 seconds then you have to reapply the brake.
A few other things my Audi has that I never had in other cars is it brings the rpms up from 900 to about 1100 when completely stopped, clutch pushed in and in first gear.
Also it has rev matching on spirited downshifts so you can go from 6th to 5th or 4th to 3rd and it will blip the throttle when you cross over neutral. I haven't figured how to turn it off, so heel and toe downshifts are weird sometimes if I'm doing that.
